    Looks like there is still grease or oils on the car, maybe something wrong with the paint??

      did you shoot a coat of primer first.???

      doing a quick search, here's what I found...

      Fish Eyes in the Paint when Spraying
      Fish Eyes look like little craters on the moon where the paint pulls away from the center. (Looks well, like a fish eye and hence the name). Fish eyes occur immediately upon spraying. Fish eyes are caused by contamination of the surface you are spraying. Water, oil and silicone are the three major culprits. Also, if you leave the wax and grease remover on too long before wiping it off, it can cause fisheyes. When you wetsand out imperfections in the basecoat, sometimes there will be traces of water left causing the problem. To be honest, we had jobs where the fish eyes occurred and we had no idea what caused them as we could find no rhyme or reason for it.
      If we had a job that fish eyed, we would start over again by washing off the paint with automotive lacquer thinner. Once the surface fish eyes, the paint should be removed as something has contaminated the surface. You don't want to just sand down the surface and repaint as the problem will usually not go away. In all my years, we never found the paint or clearcoat itself to be the problem as often we would use the exact same paint and clearcoat again without difficulty. We started to think perhaps some truck was driving by spraying something with silicon in it as often we just could not come up with a reason for it!

              A left over residue from a washing will cause a running type fisheye, those are splotchy and all over so I still say bad air..

              Painted this by the way

                Not air related, that is related to contaminate on the surface. It's caused by surface tension. The debrigh on the surface caused the surface tension to be high therefore causing it to nor bond to the paint, then with paints polarit it is attracted to it self, so the paint retreats and avoids the contaminate.

                  Water or oil in the air will do that.

                    I guess the water being propeled with it would cause the same situation.

                        im guessing wax residue, all the spots were where there was a chip or nick or scratch in the paint, reprimed it after sanding and they were gone, although a good chunk or the car was bare metal after that resand...
